Plenty of life’s troubles can make it look like you have become an ‘olodo’

Back-to-back adversity can make you look directionless

Because you are fighting to stay alive and sane

While others with fewer battles seem to be gliding through life

The many burdens you carry become heavier, thereby slowing down your everyday progress

While I may not understand why some people have it easier than others
I know we don’t get to choose much of our lots in life.

People may not understand what you are going through.

But I know what it means to go through so many challenges year-to-year.

I mean real troubles like terminal sickness, death of a loved one, big time financial loss, abandonment, and so much more.

But coming from a sister who has weathered so many storms of life in her few decades of existence.

I can tell you that no matter the torrents in which they come, and no matter how long they last, they will never be forever.

On some days, all you need to do is ensure you stay alive.

Don’t compare your journey to anyone.

Our times and seasons are different.

Take it one day at a time.

Have goals that show the beautiful life you desire.

Break down the goals into small actionable steps.

Take consistent action always.

Forgive yourself.

Criticize yourself less.

Stop looking down on yourself.

Be kind to you.

Love the Lord with all your heart because he is your surest anchor.

Stay alive against all odds.

Someday, the battles will end.

And the sun will shine brightly on you.

I believe in you, great woman.
